 ### Docker
 
-Instructions to run msc-wis2node via Docker can be found in the [`docker`](docker) directory.
+The Docker setup uses Docker and Docker Compose to manage the following services:
+
+- **msc-wis2node-cache**: memcache caching for data update detection (optional)
+- **msc-wis2node-management**: management service to subscribe to MSC Datamart/HPFX and re-publish to WIS2
+
+See [`msc-wis2node.env`](msc-wis2node.env) for default environment variable settings.
+
+To adjust service ports, edit [`docker-compose.override.yml`](docker-compose.override.yml) accordingly.
+
+The [`Makefile`](Makefile) in the root directory provides options to manage the Docker Compose setup.
+
+```bash
+# build all images
+make build
+
+# build all images (no cache)
+make force-build
+
+# start all containers
+make up
+
+# start all containers in dev mode
+make dev
+
+# view all container logs in realtime
+make logs
+
+# login to the msc-wis2node-management container
+make login
+
+# restart all containers
+make restart
+
+# shutdown all containers
+make down
+
+# remove all volumes
+make rm
+```
